Lombardia: a small review – Veganmofo 2009

Last weekend I visited Antwerp. I was supposed to meet someone at Lombardia. A fact I was really glad of, because I heard so much about this place. It doesn’t only serve vegan tiramisu and sandwiches, it’s also Moby’s caterer everytime he’s in the country.

But, helas, I was a little bit disappointed. Not only do they serve meat. It’s tru, they have a lot of vegan choice, but it’s so expensive. You can’t believe it. Normally you pay something like 3 to 4 euro’s for a ‘belegd broodje’. I ordered the ‘Tofu total’ and had to pay 8,90 euro. In Gent I have to pay only 5 to 6 euro for a vegan burger in vegetarian fastfood restaurants.

For this I got a bun, not to small but no to big too, and between it: grated carrots, some salad leaves, luzerne, slice of baked marinated tofu, crackers and a avocado spread.

In Gent I pay 5 to 6 euro for a vegan burger in vegetarian fastfood restaurants. The vegan tiramisu is 6,50 at Lombardia. So, I didn’t buy that. Probably I go back, once, to try out the tirasimu. But I think that will be the only reason I ever go back.
